The Attack of Flying Insects....

So the last few days haven't been very eventful but I'll make a new entry anyway...

Saturday's class was good, we played alot of games and spent about 1 of the 4 hours just in conversation practicing the new grammar focus. Then after class we went to the mall for ice cream with Daniel. He had a friend, a highschool boy, that told him I was so beautiful he had to hold on the railing when I was talking to them. Haha, I love how dramatic some people can be, but don't worry nothing's gonna happen he has a girlfriend...oh and he's like 5 or 6 years younger than me haha....

Anyway on Sunday I left in the morning to go to the airport to return the suitcase from my parents. However, the bus driver didn't stop at the airport like he said he would- he took the ramp going the opposite way and we were headed to the next state over! So we had to get off at a little stop in the middle of the highway and walk back to the airport, it was probably about a mile or so which wouldn't have been that bad had it not been so hot and we were both wearing black shirts carrying a huge suitcase. But we got there and security let us wait inside the airport (which was airconditioned) to give them the bag. They got there about an hour after us, despite our trek down the highway, but they were very grateful because they had too much stuff in their bags and needed the extra space.

Yesterday we REALLY didn't do anything intersting. We did go to the post office and to an outlet mall for about an hour, but that was the highlight of our day. We could've stayed longer if we had money to spend and if my 'novela' Lola wasn't coming on. But I'm addicted to that show, it's just so good! I'll be so sad when I'm working during the day and miss it. If only it came on an hour later...

However, last night was a little bit interesting. We were laying in bed with the TV on and there was something flying around the TV so Amber wanted to turn the light on and kill it cause she thought it was a beetle (I only thought it was a moth) So we turned the light on only to reveal about 100 of these things flying around our room! We were screaming and racing to get out of the room trying to grab our flip flops on the way out while we were ducking and covering our heads...When we got out we tried to make a plan to kill them. We went back in with flyswatters and went at it. Amber got scared cause one was flying at her so she went running out of the room only to trip and fall- sliding a little bit through the doorway. Then we were laughing so we both went out into the hall and decided we needed to turn on just the hallway light to attract them all there and then we could kill more. So we turned off the bedroom light and just waited in the hall with the flyswatters. Slowly they came out, then a little faster and we were swatting like crazy- Amber said it felt like a video game to her....But we were killing them left and right- it was a bloodbath in the hallway. We still aren't completely sure what they were. At first we thought flying ants, then we thought termites, but we still aren't sure. We just know that there is a HUGE pile of what's left of them in the hall.

Today we don't really have any big plans again. I need to go to Mas X Menos to get stuff to make rice krispie treats for class on Saturday. We're going over sequence adverbs so we're gonna make them together using those words. The grocery store next door doesn't have plain marshmallows, just flavored ones- and they also only have choco-krispies. I just don't think it would come out good if I bought those haha.

Ok well that's about all that's going on here!

my favorite part of the story was amber falling...cause she always fell at the house. things with laura came to a halt yesterday. we talked and decided on being friends (we also decided we didnt really have anything so it was not a big deal). we were both fine with it being friends, so it will most likely stay that way. i got my eye on a girl though named amber. dont know if you know who it is, but she is the one from texas working with keith robinson. ill keep ya updated on that one. adios
